What People are saying about the book:
"Too many 'Ah Ha' moments to count while reading this book."
"I so wish I came across this book and read this sooner. As a four, I hate to admit that there are others like me with the exact same challenges and patterns in romantic relationships; however, at the same time, it was therapeutic. I wish I would have read this rather than spend thousands and thousands on therapy. Seriously. This book does not and will not fix you or make you better. This book helps you become aware of things that may occur during your current and past relationships so you can begin working on those areas of your life."
K. Grace, a Type Four, the Romantic
"With a background in Psychology, Donna Fisher-Jackson in her new book, The Healing Path of the Romantic, weaves together the Enneagram Personality System with Greek Mythology, showing us how archetypes not only influence our lives, but navigates us through them as well. Being a Romantic herself, Donna deftly describes the inner experience of the Romantic and examines the challenges and strengths we all can relate to. By sharing stories of others who have journeyed this path, we find insight, soul and the deepest desires of how this archetypal personality moves through the soul's path. No matter what 'type' you are in the Enneagram, in Donna's book, you will find tools for becoming whole on the healing path that will last a lifetime."
Constance S. Rodriguez PhD, Author of "Gifts of the Soul: Experience the Mystical in Everyday Life" Llewellyn, 2007.
"I found this book to be an insightful, comprehensive guide to the Enneagram Personality Type System with emphasis on the Type Four, the 'Romantic'. The author describes the various personality aspects of each type and incorporates her own life's journey along with a compilation of case studies of other Type Four's. There are many healing methods and tools suggested throughout and it reads as a wonderful unfolding story. Being a 'Romantic' myself and having studied the Enneagram the past 20+ years, I've not come across another book that encompasses the full spectrum of the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the Type Four, until now. This is a must read for anyone new to the Enneagram or advanced students of this fascinating subject."
B. D'Amore, a Type Four, the Romantic
"I'm new to the Enneagram System of typing personalities, so this book gave me an excellent introduction, first of all, into the system itself and how it has evolved. Donna Fisher-Jackson is a well organized author so it is easy to pick and choose chapters to learn more about the Type Four, which she writes in great detail about, but to also see how this system can work in various ways to help a person understand themselves better and even find methods of healing the imbalances in oneself. I was especially drawn to her chapters on 'The Four Elements of Healing'. The tools she described can be applied to other types as well I'm sure, and her illustrative anecdotes made it all come alive. While this is intended to be a rather specialized book on the Romantic Type, anyone interested in the Enneagram System itself will find some pearls of wisdom within its pages."
